    Discounts or Cord Cutting, Please Assist!!

    For me I have PS Vue for the cable channels I want, Amazon Prime for movies, and a Tablo unit for OTA reception and recording. With cheap Roku Express units you can feed the Tablo content to other tvs around the house with no wiring. Assuming that you have decent wifi internet service. The...

    Post what DirecTV retention offered you!

    Had to laugh at the reverse offer they gave me. Since I cancelled the auto pay feature they are going to charge me $10 more per month for the "free" HD that I have had all these years. HaHa. The laugh will be on them when I cancel after the last episode of "Outsiders" next week in favor of...

    Disconnected From Home Network

    Happens to me too with my H24-500. Was never when trying to access recordings on my HR24-500 though. Always clears itself up so has not been a problem for me. Just a curiosity.

    Why are there still SD channels?

    Personally for myself - I would like to see SD stay around for the never ending problem of rain fade. For the locals I can always switch to my OTA antenna, but if I'm watching a cable channel, tough luck!! This fact doesn't seem to matter to any others except for one other guy on this forum.

    The end of SD service on DIRECTV

    Getting back to the subject matter of this thread---I hope that the rumor of D dropping the SD channels is not true. If it is, there goes my solution to continue viewing when rain fade kicks in. NOT GOOD!!

    Second TV without adding box

    As I have mentioned to others in the past, look into the "My Wireless TV" system. No wires. Easy hook-up. Just the initial purchase price.

    i'm switching to DirecTV, which should i expect from DirecTV when i do get hooked up with it

    You can expect a price increase every year, signal outage in heavy rain or snow, and a hassle from them if service is ever required. Other than that, everything is wonderful.:rolleyes:

    Recording Question

    As others have said, to be safe, I would cancel the present setting at the appropriate time and then reset to the new channel. You just can't predict what will happen if you leave as is.

    DirecTV to Offer Live 4K in Early 2016

    40 percent by after Christmas??!! What a ridiculous statement! No way in hell.

    Is it normal for unsubbed channels to appear white in the guide?

    I've seen that from time to time also with the premium movie channels. Normally they are grayed out instead of the bright white. Have thought that maybe someone had made a mistake and that the channel was live. But not the case. Guess it's just a bug in the system.

    Whole Home Viewing without Internet.

    Check out the "My Wireless TV". Works great with DTV for me. Gives full fuction of DTV box to a remote tv. Got mine at Best Buy. Also can find on Ebay and Amazon. One time purchase and no monthly fees.

    Signal Strength of Locals?

    Seems like at my age that I do a lot of "dithering", but don't get much done.:)

    Signal Strength of Locals?

    Thanks Jimbo. Worth a try. Of course, I don't know what the dithering bolts are. Assume perhaps the 2 adjusting bolts on the right and left sides.

    Signal Strength of Locals?

    Am definitely talking HD only. Only use the non HD version when I have to switch over due to the rain fade. Will check the signal strength when the weather turns bad. Am thinking about trying to repeak the dish myself, but am afraid of screwing it up big time.

    Signal Strength of Locals?

    Does anyone know which satellite and transponder(s) the Cleveland local stations are on? I keep losing them due to "rain fade" and would like to check their signal strength. Even though I am paying the monthly fee for the service contract, DTV will not send a tech out to repeak the dish...
